Syrian Army launches powerful attack to liberate Al-Mahr Gas Fields

BEIRUT, LEBANON (10:55 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army launched a powerful attack tonight in the eastern countryside of Homs, targeting the Al-Mahr Gas Fields under the control of the Islamic State (ISIS) forces.

Led by the newly formed 5th Legion and 18th Tank Division, the Syrian Arab Army began storming the Al-Mahr Gas Fields tonight after taking control of the final two hills overlooking this strategic site in east Homs.

According to preliminary reports from east Homs, the Syrian Arab Army has already entered the Al-Mahr Gas Fields; however, Al-Masdar News cannot verify these claims at this time.

With the Islamic State concentrating their forces at the Hayyan Gas Fields, the Syrian Arab Army took the opportunity to expand their control over the Al-Mahr and Jazal mountains that are located northwest of Palmyra City.
